Skin popping 

Injecting into skin, not into veins or muscles or anything. It is not the best way because some drugs get lost in your tissues so the effect is not as strong, and you're more likely to get absesses this way.

Yeah, his veins are all collapsed now so he's been skin popping the heroin.

skin-popping 

The practice of injecting drugs under the skin instead of directly into the bloodstream/vein. This is absolutely retarded as the effect cannot compare to the intravenous method, in addition the potential for infections that could dime the user out as professional medical attention will be required to circumvent the potential possibilities of much worse discomfort. In regards to injecting drugs it is the product of a missed injection, instead of into the circulatory system the solution is deposited anywhere else under the skin. This is not good as it is a possibility that this accident could potentially transform into cellulitis, and then there is a chance of an abscess. See further medical texts for the specifics, however it is not out of the realm of possibility this accident could result in loss of limb, or even loss of life. Ending on a positive note however, its much more likely you'll be sore at injection sight with some minor swelling, redness. Keep an eye on it and be more careful next time.

To most junkos the reckless practice of skin-popping is frowned upon and often discouraged. Injecting most things just under the skin can establish the beginnings of a very unpleasant drug injecting experience with medical consequences and the dumb-ass who did it will most definitely have 'some explaining to do' much more serious than Lucy had to do for Desi. Dumb-ass may also have to provide some telling information as to why they "no like Little Ricky"...…..haa-haa-haa!!
